WePress presents a new workshop:
Introduction to Letterpress
June 23rd, at 1:30PM
In the DTES (downtown eastside), Vancouver
What is letterpress?
It’s a type of print making.
It uses a really big machine. You pick individual metal letters.
You pick the ones you want and lay them on the machine.
Then you put ink on the metal letters and cover it with paper.
Using big rollers, it presses the paper onto the inked letters.
And makes a print (that you can take home)!
You will learn how to use the machine and design techniques.
All the participants will discuss and design one collaborative poster.
We will print one version of the that poster for everyone who attends.
The workshop is taught by Kay Slater (hoh), speaking, and
will be interpreted at the same time.
This workshop is for: Deaf, Hard of Hearing,
d/oral deaf/hoh (no asl knowledge needed),
and hearing participants (if there is room).
D/d/hoh participants are prioritized.
The workshop is limited to 8 students.
The cost is on a sliding scale. $40 or “pay what you can”.
Free if you can’t pay.

We will share the video on our Facebook group event too.
Thank you for helping us share the word about the event.
Cheers,
Kay Slater.
